Observations from the corner of the family room with a blanket over my head

Well after coming out from under my blanket I've now seen the light and it's a lot cooler out here. The bucks have a huge weight off their shoulders, unfortunately, it's now no longer NC or bust now we can just go out and play football. And Pryor is going to be damn good. That pass that he had to Hartline, although it was incomplete was simply amazing the armstrength and the accuracy on the run leaves me speachless. You can't teach what he has but you can teach him proper throwing motion and how to read the defenses.

This is TP working out at OSU for a biomechanical testing. It's weird to see how uncoordinated TP seems when doing squats and lunges which means that he hasn't hit the weights real hard and has not maxed out on his athletic potential as crazy as that may seem. He has a frame that he could easily add 20lbs of muscle to and still maintain his speed (think LeBron James). This is just scary to think how good he could become.

Why , in God's name would anyone be embarassed or ashamed ? It's foot ball game and everyone in the world knew that USC has a great team and even predicted this outcome.
True, we got beat but it is never ever correct to be embarassed over our team . It is our team and they played as Buckeyes and you should never forget that.

If you don't think that yesterday's performance as a team overall was embarrassing, then your scarlet glasses are really thick. As far as "everyone predicting this outcome", virtually no one here predicted a 32-point loss...hell, few in the USC-fellating media did.

If you would have told me that Bucks weren't even going to score a touchdown I would have told you I wanted some of what you are smoking. The thing that's killing me is, everyone is saying this is the best USC Team ever, but on what criteria? It's their second game of the season, they have 10 more. At this point I will be rooting for them to win the National Title, but what happens if they lose 2-3 games? Sucks to think about, but my head is just going in circles, are they that good? are we that bad? Tough loss to deal with.

I think people get carried away a little bit by calling this USC team "their best team ever". Their front seven on defense is extremely good but they have had teams with better skilled players which made them a better overall team. I seriously doubt if they will lose a game in the Pac-10 because next week while even will play a very good Oregon team, Oregon lost one of their better players yesterday against Purdue. I don't think it will be tested again until the National Championship game.

Absolutely. With the way Pryor was running out there, I think we'll see a few units in the B10 this year with quicker LBers than they have. And also, if a team could tackle McKnight while he is dancing in the backfield, at times stopping completely to a halt, then his offensive output would've been cut in half. Last year's LSU team was a better unit.

Penn State. Wisconsin. maybe even a couple more. SC's LBers did not standout with their closing speed or field awareness, let's just put it that way. A good back can definitely run on them.

Its also only the 2nd game. Those linebackers are as athletic as you're going to see.

A good back CAN run on them sure, but not enough to win a ball game
